Maybe act like a child while trying to convince your followers that a fantastical claim for which there is no evidence is, regardless, true?
Donald Trump’s Save America PAC sent out an email blast Tuesday morning pushing bizarre claims Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp’s landslide win for the Republican nomination for governor was the result of voter fraud. The move, apparently a desperate bid to save face, comes after Kemp defeated his Trump-endorsed rival David Perdue in the primary race last week in a major blow to Trump’s reputation as a Republican kingmaker. It was the third time in three weeks a Trump-endorsed candidate lost, per Politico. Under the heading, “ICYMI: Something Stinks in Georgia,” the Save America PAC linked to a five-day old article of the same name penned by journalist Emerald Robinson.

Here, we see Trump, indulging his childish emotional needs rather than assessing the situation for errors on his part, accusing other members of the Republican Party of cheating. There are even more effective ways to drive off members of the Party, but quite honestly this is a very effective manner.
And, along with the accused, those who support the former President are less likely to vote for the accused, too. Whether or not they vote third party or even Democratic, or not at all, it’s damaging to the cause of the Republican Party.
And, given their current communal behaviors and the nutcases they’re attracting, I have little sympathy.
The internecine warfare would ordinarily be an opportunity for other parties, but they all seem broken these days.
